Chapter 246 Beauty's Scheme (8)
For the sake of her own and her child's future, Du Yunxi embarked on the journey to Dai State, and her name was changed to Dou Yifang. Unfortunately, with the existence of Shiyi, the King of Dai was destined not to become emperor.
After Shiyi took over the government, he began to quickly gather his own forces. In addition to the manpower provided by Lu Yuan at the beginning, there were also forces that originally belonged to the emperor, and even Minister Da who supported orthodoxy were all Shiyi's helpers.
But these are far from enough. Once Shiyi reveals his identity, most of the people here will turn against him. The only way is to cultivate a force that belongs only to him.
This was not difficult for Shiyi. He only needed a few small loyalty pills. When Lu Zhi found that her people began to defect to Shiyi, she was surprised.
"Anyang, your mother probably knows what you want to do. Be brave and do it. Your mother will always support you." Shi Yi was prepared for Lu Zhi's strong opposition, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhi readily agreed.
"Mother, don't you blame me?"
"Mother doesn't blame you, but this road is destined to be difficult. Mother loves you." Lu Zhi looked at Shi Yi, with a look of heartache in her eyes: "You are so disapproving of the world. I'm afraid that everyone in the world will attack you."
"Mother, you know me. I've never been afraid of those things," Shiyi comforted.
In the court, Shi Yi began to show methods that were completely different from those of Liu Ying. He was cruel and decisive, quite similar to Lu Zhi, which frightened the important officials in the court.
In order to prevent the kings from rebelling, Shi Yi rewarded them with a large amount of treasures to temporarily confuse them, and then began to carry out drastic reforms. The first thing he did was to put women in the court.
If one wants the world to accept that the emperor is a woman, the first thing to do must be to make the world accept female officials attending court, which is not a difficult task.
Since ancient times, there have been female officials, but in the past, they were all in the palace, mostly managing palace affairs. What Shi Yi needed to do was to transform female officials from managers of palace affairs to managers of world affairs.
Several available talents can be selected from the existing female officials in the palace. As for the others, Shiyi plans to use his puppet pills to select a few puppets to serve in the court. Once everyone accepts them, the talents he has trained can be used.
The female official system was simply established. Nie Shen'er volunteered to serve in the court, but was rejected by Shi Yi: "I want female officials who are knowledgeable and can do things for the people of the world, not beautiful vases."
Nie Shen'er only felt that female officials were powerful, and that after gaining power, she would no longer be rootless. However, she had indeed not learned the ways of being an official, nor did she have any knowledge of being an official. Of course, this was not her fault.
She was implicated by Du Yunxi and her daughter, her parents were killed, and she was abandoned by Du Yunxi's aunt. She mistakenly entered a brothel and learned nothing useful except various ways to seduce men.
Facing Shiyi's words that she was a vase, Nie Shen'er couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved: "Master, Shen'er went astray when he was young, but Shen'er will never harm the country or the people."
"I know, so I didn't stop you from entering the court, but before that, you have to study hard. I have hired a famous teacher for you." Shi Yi's smile dazzled Nie Shen'er's eyes.
When Nie Shen'er turned around, she saw Lu Zhi, Yan'er and three children coming towards her: "Emperor, I didn't expect that you would have such an idea."
